From 9ac3ebaef3cc43ecd136911c44f1427286ee5a05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erick Archer Date: Sun, 21 Jan 2024 11:43:44 +0100 Subject: Documentation: power: Use kcalloc() instead of kzalloc() As noted in the "Deprecated Interfaces, Language Features, Attributes, and Conventions" documentation [1], size calculations (especially multiplication) should not be performed in memory allocator (or similar) function arguments due to the risk of them overflowing. This could lead to values wrapping around and a smaller allocation being made than the caller was expecting. Using those allocations could lead to linear overflows of heap memory and other misbehaviors. So, in the example code use the purpose specific kcalloc() function instead of the argument size * count in the kzalloc() function. At the same time, modify the translations accordingly.
